WISH J1014-1830 , the SIMBAD biblio

The 352 MHz Westerbork In the Southern Hemisphere (WISH) survey is the southern extension of the WENSS, covering 1.60sr between -9°<δ←26° to a limiting flux density of ∼18mJy (5σ). Due to the very low elevation of the observations, the survey has a much lower resolution in declination than in right ascension (54"x54" cosecδ). A correlation with the 1.4GHz NVSS shows that the positional accuracy is less constrained in declination than in right ascension, but there is no significant systematic error. We present a source list containing 73570 sources. We correlate this WISH catalogue with the NVSS to construct a sample of faint Ultra Steep Spectrum (USS) sources, which is accessible for follow-up studies with large optical telescopes in the southern hemisphere. This sample is aimed at increasing the number of known high redshift radio galaxies to allow detailed follow-up studies of these massive galaxies and their environments in the early Universe.
